Working with us is calm, collaborative, and intentional—rooted in years of experience and a shared love for this work. Justin brings quiet confidence, an intuitive rhythm, and the ability to create space where people feel truly at ease. Together, we balance honest, in-the-moment storytelling with refined editorial direction, guiding gently when needed while always attuned to light, emotion, and the moments that matter most.

Above all, we want this to feel effortless—and yes, even fun. Because the best photographs (and films) come when you’re fully present, trusting the process, and enjoying the moment as it unfolds.

Offering photography and short-form highlight films, we create cohesive, editorial stories through movement and stillness—images that hold a moment in time, and video that brings it to life. Thoughtfully crafted for modern storytelling, our work is artfully edited, beautifully unified, and made to be shared and cherished for years to come.

  • Our signature offering—and the heart of our work—combines refined editorial style with honest storytelling to capture your love story with care and artistry. Whether close to home or a destination afar, we approach every wedding as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, rich with emotion, movement, and meaning.

    Blending photojournalism with gentle direction, we preserve the natural rhythm of your day while crafting timeless, personal images. Alongside photography, we offer short-form highlight films designed for modern platforms—vertical, artful, and perfect for sharing. These films are created with the same intention and eye for detail as our photography, offering a seamless blend of visuals that feel both cinematic and intimate.

    Custom collections include collaborative timeline planning, photography and video coverage by Justin and Kelsey, thoughtful travel coordination, engagement sessions, welcome events, additional coverage, and bespoke deliverables.

    Every couple and every story is one-of-a-kind. We can’t wait to document yours.

  • For the quietly extraordinary moments.

    Elopements and intimate celebrations hold a special place in our hearts. There’s a beauty in their simplicity, the freedom they allow, and the space they create for connection. Whether it’s just the two of you on a windswept coast or a handful of loved ones gathered in a vineyard, we approach each with the same care and artistry as the grandest affair.

    Our work is rooted in storytelling—capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. With a balance of documentary and editorial perspective, we honor the landscape, the light, and the connection between you. Alongside photography, we offer short-form video highlights, creating cohesive, artful narratives that reflect the beauty of your day and the heart of your story.

    Offerings include guidance on timing, locations, and logistics, art direction to protect the beauty of your day, photography and video coverage by Justin and Kelsey, and options for additional sessions or travel.

    Wherever your love takes you, we’re honored to follow.

  • Tell your story with style, soul, and intention.

    These sessions invite you to slow down, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create something personal, without the timelines of a wedding day. Whether it’s a golden-hour walk through a familiar neighborhood or a styled shoot in a place that feels like home, we’ll guide you through location, styling, and tone.

    Collections include creative planning, location guidance, styling support, and photography by Justin and Kelsey, with the option to create beautiful, custom albums.
